The jury is completely out on the Upper Stowe boundary. It is very close to Watling Street (red line top right), commands excellent views north and south up the road and has a water supply Steve Kaye would be proud of. The tantalising boundary would put any enclosure down the front of quite a steep north facing slope, so that militates against it for me;
However there seem to be other examples of the encampments with an equally significant cross slope and water, so it remains just a tantalising "maybe" something.
I wonder if you might pass judgement on these plans (a Motte and Bailey and Univallate Hill Fort respectively) could you write off a Roman origin for all parts of these?
